overheard in the laundry room

(from my sick bed, while under the influence of cold medicine)


Mr. Dub: Mesquite, come in here and help me.
Mesquite: what do you want me to do?
Dub: help me put away the laundry; this is girl stuff.  I don't know what belongs to who in here.
Mesquite: Just throw the stuff in the baskets.
Dub: But this is underwear! I don't know who it belongs to... and what if it's yours?  I don't want to touch your underwear...!
Mesquite: Sometimes I touch your underwear...
Dub: Gross.
Mesquite: You do what you gotta do, and you just don't tell anyone.

  3. Sorry you are sick--too much Easter, perhaps? I love the conversation between father and daughter--too funny! Maybe initials on the underwear for future "filing"!! Hope you feel better soon.
